ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Chronic dacryocystitis is the condition secondary to permanent lacrimonasal duct stenosis (LNDS) that generates epiphora and recurrent conjunctivitis. Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) is a more natural route than the external route and offers higher success rates than the laser technique. We value this centre's experience in this procedure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective review was carried out in our centre of the medical records of adult patients undergoing EDCR due to LNDS between 1995 and 2019. The minimum follow-up period required after surgery was 6 months. RESULTS: Over 297 months, 167 EDCR procedures were performed on 156 patients, with an average age of 65.7 ±â€¯11.6 years and a male/female ratio of 1/1.98. The functional improvement was 86%, with an anatomical success rate of 87%. Lack of clinical improvement statistically significantly correlated with the age of the patient and the time since onset of the LNDS, the presence of concomitant systemic (especially diabetes mellitus) or ophthalmological disease, the intraoperative finding of a thickened tear sac and absence of drainage of the tear sac when marsupialised. Longer-term stent carriers in the rhinostomy had poorer outcomes. There were no postoperative complications of interest. CONCLUSIONS: EDCR is an effective and safe technique, based on stable anatomical references. Failure rate seems to be multifactorial and should be considered in older, multipathological patients, with a long duration of the condition.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La dacriocistitis crónica es la patología secundaria a la estenosis del conducto lacrimonasal (ECLN) permanente, generando epífora y conjuntivitis de repetición. La dacriocistorrinostomía endoscópica (DCRE) supone una vía más natural que la vía externa y ofrece tasas de éxito superiores a la técnica láser. Valoramos la experiencia de este centro en este procedimiento. Pacientes y métodos: Se efectuó una revisión retrospectiva de los registros médicos en pacientes adultos sometidos a DCRE por ECLN entre 1995 y 2019 en nuestro centro. El período de seguimiento mínimo requerido después de la cirugía fue de seis meses. Resultados: En 297 meses se efectuaron 167 procedimientos de DCRE sobre 156 pacientes, con una edad media de 65,7±11,6 años y una relación hombre/mujer de 1/1,98. La mejoría funcional fue del 86%, con una tasa de éxito anatómico del 87%. La ausencia de mejoría clínica se correlacionó de forma estadísticamente significativa con la edad del paciente y el tiempo de evolución de la ECLN, la presencia de patología concomitante sistémica (especialmente diabetes mellitus) u oftalmológica, el hallazgo intraoperatorio de un saco lacrimal engrosado y la ausencia de drenaje del mismo al marsupializarlo. Los pacientes con peor respuesta fueron portadores de stents en la rinostomía durante más tiempo. No existieron complicaciones postoperatorias de interés. Conclusiones: La DCRE es una técnica eficaz y segura, fundamentada en referencias anatómicas estables. La incidencia de fracasos parece multifactorial y debe contemplarse en pacientes añosos, pluripatológicos y con largo tiempo de evolución de la enfermedad. (AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Los tumores del saco lagrimal son extremadamente raros, y el benigno primario más común es el papiloma escamoso. Clínicamente se manifiestan como una zona de tumefacción en la región cantal medial, asociado a epifora y dacriocistitis crónica-recurrente. Dentro de las pruebas de imagen recomendadas están: dacriocistografía, tomografía computarizada, resonancia magnética y dacrioescintifotografía. Sin embargo, muy pocos sugieren el uso del ultrasonido. Se presenta el caso de un papiloma mixto del saco lagrimal diagnosticado por ultrasonido. Se trata de una paciente femenina de 39 años, quien fue remitida por cuadros repetidos de dacriocistitis derecha en los últimos 3 años. En consulta se constató celulitis preseptal ipsolateral, por lo que se indicó antibiótico-terapia, y se logró la remisión de los signos inflamatorios agudos, pero persistió el aumento del volumen cantal medial derecho. La vía lagrimal se exploró y se comprobó que estaba obstruida. Se realizó ultrasonido, donde el saco lagrimal derecho apareció ocupado por una masa ecogénica, que se extendía al conducto lacrimonasal y mostraba ligera vascularidad. Seguidamente se hizo tomografía computarizada, y se confirmaron los hallazgos ecográficos, pero sin lograr delimitar la lesión intrasaco descrita, aún tras la administración de contraste yodado endovenoso. Se sugirió dacriocistitis crónica derecha, secundaria al tumor intrasaco de aspecto benigno, probable papiloma, por lo que se efectuó cirugía y examen histopatológico que ratificaron dicho diagnóstico. En conclusión, el ultrasonido del saco lagrimal es un método complementario de gran valor, que en algunos casos hará el diagnóstico, y en otros brindará información que optimizará la decisión de quienes serían tributarios a estudios más complejos(AU)


ABSTRACT Lacrimal sac tumors are extremely rare, and the most common benign primary is squamous papilloma. Clinically, they manifest as a zone of swelling in the medial canthal region, associated with epiphora and chronic-recurrent dacryocystitis. Among the recommended imaging tests are dacryostography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and dacryoscintifotography. However, very few suggest the use of ultrasound. The case of a mixed papilloma of the lacrimal sac diagnosed by ultrasound is presented. This is a 39-year-old female patient, who was referred for repeated cases of right dacryocystitis in the last three years. In consultation, ipsolateral preseptal cellulitis was found, for which antibiotic therapy was indicated, and the remission of acute inflammatory signs was achieved, but the increase in right medial canthal volume persisted. The lacrimal duct was explored and found to be obstructed. Ultrasound was performed, where the right lacrimal sac appeared occupied by an echogenic mass, which extended to the lacrimal duct and showed slight vascularity. Subsequently, computed tomography was performed, and the ultrasound findings were confirmed, but without defining the described intrasaccal lesion, even after administration of intravenous iodinated contrast. It was suggested chronic right dacryocystitis, secondary to apparently benign intrasaccal tumor, probable papilloma, so surgery and histopathological examination were performed, which that ratified the diagnosis. In conclusion, ultrasound of the lacrimal sac is a complementary method of great value, which in some cases will make the diagnosis, while in others it will provide information that will optimize the decision of those who would be candidate to more complex studies(AU)

ABSTRACT

Sarcoidosis of lacrimal sac is a very uncommon disease. When the patient has symptoms of lacrimal sac diseases, it is necessary to take into account the histological evaluation, to demonstrate the involvement of the lacrimal sac by this pathology. In patients with sarcoidosis history, the treatment is surgical and it is suggested to do an external dacryocystorhinostomy, in order to take a biopsy, to get a diagnosis and to establish the incidence of this pathology. The case is presented of a 44 year-old female, with a history of sarcoidosis lymph nodes, who presented with a right chronic dacryocystitis of one year onset.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: describir los resultados de la cirugía dacriocistorrinostomía externa en un año. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo longitudinal prospectivo en 25 pacientes, 28 ojos. Se consideraron las variables sexo, color de piel, edad, lado afectado, etiología, complicaciones y resultados de la cirugía. Resultados: hubo 7 pacientes masculinos y 18 femeninos; de ellos, 16 blancos y 9 no blancos con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p= 0,043). La edad promedio fue de 69 ± 11 años. En 13 pacientes (52,0 por ciento) se afectó el lado izquierdo y en el 68,0 por ciento la etiología fue involutiva con significación estadística (p= 0,0003). El sangramiento transoperatorio se presentó como complicación en el 24,0 por ciento de los pacientes. El 92,0 por ciento refirió mejoría de la sintomatología después de operados. Según el criterio del cirujano, la mejoría objetiva se obtuvo en el 88,0 por ciento de los casos. La dacriocistorrinostomía externa fue más frecuente en mujeres blancas encontradas entre su sexta y séptima década de vida. El lado izquierdo fue el más afectado con predominio de la etiología involutiva. Las complicaciones fueron escasas; dentro de ellas predominó el sangramiento transoperatorio. Conclusiones: la mayoría de los pacientes sintieron mejoría después de la cirugía; el criterio del cirujano estuvo a favor de los resultados positivos en la cirugía dacriocistorrinostomía externa(AU)


Objective: to describe the results of external dacryocystorhinostomy surgery in one year. Methods: a prospective, longitudinal descriptive and observational study was conducted in 28 patients from 25 patients. The study variables were gender, race, age, affected side, etiology, complications and surgery outcomes. Results: there were 7 male and 18 female patients, 16 Caucasians and 9 non-Caucasians with statistically significant difference (p= 0,043). The mean age was 69 ± 11 years. The obstruction involved the left side in 13 patients (52 percent) and involution was the main etiology in 68 percent with statistical significance (p= 0,0003). Perioperative bleeding was the main complication (24 percent). In the group, 92 percent said the symptoms had reduced after surgery, and according to the surgeon, objective improvement was attained in 88 percent of cases. Conclusion: external dacryocystorhinostomy was more frequent in Caucasian women aged 60 to 70 years. The left side was the most affected, with prevailing involution etiology. There were minimum complications, being perioperative bleeding predominant. Most of the patients felt better after surgery and the surgeon´s criteria were in favor of the positive results of this surgery(AU)
